[Verse]
Father told me 'bout a buddy’s fight
As he began to weep
Bullets raining down in the dead of night
No way out no place to hide
The sky was screaming the ground open wide
[Prechorus]
Smoke and fire
Hope on a wire
[Chorus]
Fought like a lion
Wouldn't back down
Saved their lives on that blood-soaked ground
To the end
To the end
He stood tall
The soldier who gave it all
[Verse 2]
The shadows danced in the muddy trench
He gripped his rifle
His jaw was clenched
Every step
Death was near
But his heart beat louder than fear
[Prechorus]
Flames and thunder
Tearing asunder
[Chorus]
Fought like a lion
Wouldn't back down
Saved their lives on that blood-soaked ground
To the end
To the end
He stood tall
The soldier who gave it all
